Hard Rock Cafe Niagara Falls, USA announces the Hard Rock Rocks Old Falls Street, USA summer concert series lineup with musical acts including KC and the Sunshine Band, Finger Eleven and The Guess Who.

Thursday At The Square has been renamed “Thursday At The Harbor ” and this year all of the Thursday shows have been moved to the Erie Canal Harbor. After 25 years of free concerts at Lafayette Square in Buffalo the free Thursday night concert series has a new home.

Promoters have cited better crowd control and site lines as reasons for moving the summer concert series to the Erie Canal Habor. Music fans have also championed the move stating too many non music fans were crashing and over crowding the free concerts at the previous venue.

The Artpark music lineup features its Tuesday in the Park concert series and free Coors Light Wednesdays, along with ticketed special event concerts.

Buffalo hosts the second largest Mardi Gras party behind New Orleans!

As the Buffalo Philharmonic successfully completes its historic milestone of 75 years of music-making, we owe a debt of gratitude to all that came before us…our founders, patrons, musicians and staff. And we would be remiss not to mention our home, Kleinhans Music Hall, an architectural and historical marvel in which we are privileged to perform.

We now turn to 2011-2012 with the spirit, soul and passion that defines your orchestra. Join us for the grandeur, bliss, inspiration and excitement
that the new season promises.
